Victoria 3

I've already got a small group (5, at current) committed to a multiplayer session. You could join us.

Tempting thanks, but I don't think the timezone will work out much.


At the end of the stream you can see the war AI needs work... They as Netherlands attacked Belgium to show how that works, and due to the diplomatic mini-game Russia supported them. SO the Belgium AI decided to land its army in Perm while the Dutch moved in to Belgium pretty much unopposed.

Sounds like the standard Paradox AI. What's not to love?

Apparently this will be on Game Pass PC on release so I guess I'll pay $0 and play this for many, many hours.

All these places with discounts seem to want my data before they will sell to me.  No thanks.  I already get enough spam. I'll spend my money elsewhere, even if its a bit more expensive.

That doesn't appear in line with what paradox said on their forum.

The game will be a Steam exclusive at the release - after discussion with our partners it was decided that Victoria 3 won't be a part of Game Pass or Microsoft Store

It's a special AI operation

Granted my knowledge of this is based on playing EU but isn't Perm in the middle of the Eurasian landmass? How did they land their troops there?

There's also a very good browser plugin that will let you browse Steam and give you links to discounted sites, lowest price for the product, add more filters to the store etc.

I'll just let everyone else beta test this out for me then

Interesting thread, quite promising and seemingly delivering the internal focus I was hoping for, but also clearly a lot of room for improvement (as expected): https://www.reddit.com/r/victoria3/comments/x1qom2/i_got_to_play_victoria_3_for_over_70_hours_ama

Great read, thanks!  Sounds very promising-including the fact the AI is not yet in final form, so less concern about it invading Perm with this build.

Why are you all acting like we don't know how this story plays out?
